supafreak,
Give ur Mac a break will ya? Though it's supposedly stable, u really don't need to overwork it

I haven't gone into Mac 201 yet so have no idea how Parallel works though in Mac 101 i learnt about it.

redlum,
Adobe Creative Suite 3 with intel-support? Er, what's that now?

i've yet to crash my Firefox Mac.

I have bought my own MacBookPro , last Monday...hehe

i'm still learning and prepare myself on how to handle my laptop and make things smoother in new environment.

i converted to Mac because i love it and its unique ...huhu

p/s still learning on it

Firefox has been crashing on me and the built-in session manager does not sounds as good (sometimes, i lose a few windows of tabs) as it is ...

i am looking around for other browser to replace it but still yet to find a good one...

ouh kay, lemme go use it more.

EDITED : oh btw, do you people happen to know of any way to not have X11 pop up when running OpenOffice?

goldfries,
You don't really want to TRY crashing your Firefox Mac do you?! Then again, go all out and let us know when it happens

mymac,
I just read and was introduced to Camino (www.caminobrowser.org). You may wanna try that out, if you haven't - let me know what you think of it

kevler,
You're still ahead of me. I'm learning about Mac without having purchased the MBP yet! Share with me what you learn `k? I'll definitely appreciate it.

knowing what causes it to crash helps you avoid it.

Adobe Creative Suite LINK

The new version (3) will have intel support making it much faster on intel-based macs! YAY

u gots to overwork the shit out of it to see wat makes it pop girl... though it was completely unintentional...

enjoy ur mbp or watever mac u choose u get... best money i spent on computer to be honest..

tried but my concern is if firefox is too popular the developer might think of stopping it because it really looks like a clone of firefox rather then another browser with different function or purpose...

i did try Opera Browser and the functions it provides is fantastic but my only complain is the interface cant seems to customer. e.g. toolbar cannot adjust (i still prefer the tab bar below the address bar )

i do found another browser that looks promising ... Shiira ... only it lacks the function to restore session... hopefully the developers consider adding it... the graphics is superb ... too bad you can see it for yourself...

in the mean time, i will still be searching for "the" browser ...

tinkerbel,

I can feel the excitement building within you. I had to wait for 2 months+(for C2D and PC fair) before i got mine. It was the hardest 2 months i've ever lived. Moreover, these guys over here are doing a pretty good job luring you to be one of us.

Breath in.. breath out~! Take a little bit more time to consider what you really want.(macbook/macbookpro) coz there aren't much room for you to upgrade those babies.

sure ...i need to subscribe mailing list and mac forum for seeking advice



but still, i feel like a newbie, reminds me like old days with Linux ..huhu

Instead of Open Office, you can get NeoOffice. The
latter is a Mac app while OO is more of a UNIX app.
Both are identical in function and compatibility and
are free of charge.

- yap

I've been waiting 3 years...

eh? still waiting some more?

goldfries,
Precisely why I said to share with us all when it crashes. That way we all can avoid it.

redlum,
Keep me updated when CS3's out. I don't follow that too much since that program isn't on my high priority list for installation but well no harm since I'm thinking of having CS2 installed [i'm hoping to find someone to teach me how to use the CS3 programs!]

I'm assuming you're in the Advertising/Creative industry?

mymac,
Keep on searching for your perfect browser. Different people have different views and needs. I'm happy using IE, then again, I don't do much on it so Y not just use Safari?

N0eL,
I'm so excited I fell ill. And I've got a 3-7pm function to attend, followed by a dinner function from 730pm onwards today. Can probably give the 3-7pm a miss but not the latter one [it's not a date, mind u]

Actually, the guys here are NOT 'luring' me to be one of "u". I guess I'm kinda decided on getting it. Question here now is, wait or do not wait for OS Leopard to be released? I doubt though by then I'll still be so 'excited' and well, if the last 2 months was hard for you, I can't imagine the next 4-5 months for me. I prob get so over it and just stick to using my current dinasour laptop

I oredi uhm.. decided i want the MBP leh.

kevler,
At least u've got Unix background. I don't. The only background I have with computers are *uhm...thinks for a bit* well, zilch i guess

Take ChopSuey's advise and try out NeoOffice - i hear it's pretty good and even compatible with Office. Then again, as a non-user yet I shouldn't be recommending too much

azxel,
3 years?! Sorry lah bro but I won't be able to wait 3 years. Ask me to wait 3 years to get married maybe still can think but for a laptop, no way!

Finally, can someone tell me how safe it is to buy a MB/MBP off some forum site, perhaps like this one, or others elsewhere?

Well I do work with magazines but I do marketing. But I like to be able to play around in Photoshop and Indesign Well if you use CS2 you will be able to use CS3 as well. The most important thing is that it will run much faster on intelbased macs!

your blog and fotopages is *something* ... Lol

redlum,

Honestly, I don't know how to work the CS2 softwares. My designers won't allow me to touch the Macs for fear I may do something to mess things up [however, when it comes to inputting text copies, they love for me to be around! And imagine getting them the Dual Processor G5 when they complained about the G4s being slow!] - that's how they treat me *sigh* No more upgrades for them. Instead, get myself a MBP

But do keep me updated cause I do intend to have CS installed.
